Tequila Casa Noble Reposado

Tequila Casa Noble Reposado is 100% Agave and produced at La Cofradia in Jalisco, Mexico. This exquisite tequila is matured in French white Oak barrels for three hundred sixty four days. Smooth, sensuous and full bodied, this Tequila is contained in a beautiful hand blown cobalt blue bottle, adorned with an exquisite pewter engraved label and top. It is the perfect marriage of agave and the oak.

The older style bottle (show below) came in a cobalt blue porcelain decanter, handmade by local artists.

Casa Noble Reposado is a light golden brown, full bodied Agave spirit. The aroma contains a wonderful mix of spicy and sweet agave, with hints of vanilla and wood. The taste begins with buttered oak, sweetening on the tongue and filling with cooked agave flavor. It had a medium and balanced finish full of spice, citrus, and vanilla.

I am a fan of a good reposado, I feel it can be the best representation of a fine sipping spirit if you have a good balance between the wood from the aging and the spicy flavor of agave. Casa Noble has done a wonderful job of providing that balance. I had a sample of this in one of my favorite tequila bars in Chicago at a price that was very reasonable.

The body of this tequila was amazing as it slid down the sides of the snifter as I swirled it in the glass. The flavor was sweet, smoky and smooth. A pleasure to drink.

I have not tried doing a rating on this web site before, so we will see how this goes. Casa Noble was very hard to get in this Washington, DC market until recently, but seems much more readily available now at a generally much lower price than when it was truly scare, or even what it used to be nationally on various web sites. I am paying $38 for the CNR at the Montgomery County, MD liquor store. (The county operates all liquor stores in the county.) I had been very anxious to try this tequila for years based upon what I had read on-line. I have been drinking it frequently in every possible manner lately. I do not think it disappoints in any way and is clearly among my top three or so reposados. I really do not see how it could be any smoother. Seems very well-balanced to me, with the full and complex complements of tequila and especially "pure" agave flavors. To me, good citrus (I would say orange and lemon), earth, vanilla (light vanilla, the way I like vanilla tones) and other spices in the nose, taste, and finish, with that singular agave sweetness in there, too. I am not usually big on anejos, and the wood here is just about perfect for my tastes. It adds nuance and complexity (a little leather, a little cedar maybe, a tiny bit of tobacco?), but in no way overwhelms or distorts. (Tequila should not be whiskey.) I agree with other re nice body and excellent, long finish. In my experience, finish separates the great from the merely wonderful. If there was anything more or different I might like in this tequila it might be more intensity, maybe even a little "burn" in there somewhere, which might add a note of complexity without throwing it all off. Something like some of the best bourbons have even when they are not over-proof. Patron to me, for instance, is just too darn "smooth" and light. CNR does not err nearly to that extent re smoothness. I wonder, for instance, what this would be like double rather than triple distilled. Casa Noble seems to use really high quality agave. I wonder what it would be like if they used an even more stringent selection criteria for the agave quality. I would not want more wood or age. Just more agave intensity. It would be more expensive, naturally, but it would be amazing. To me this reposado is truly a real McCoy. Whether it is someone in particular's favorite reposado or not, I think Casa Noble is structuring a really wonderful tequila within the bounds of what truly remarkable tequila is supposed to be.

I cant say enough good things about the balance this reposado has to offer. The white oak is notes are among the best I've tasted in any tequila, but never in combination with such amazing agave notes! There is a good dose of toasted sugar feel and very robust just-cooked agave pencas. Yet, this reposado presents a very pure and straightforwards tequila character.No wonder this tequil has made SO MANY friends already. Simply put: top 5 in my all-time list. Maybe is just the way it goes down so easy. Maybe is just the way it trickles down the sides of the glass. From start to finish, CNR is one reposado you must try before deciding your top reposado on the list.

Tasked out of double ball glass. Casa Noble was a pleasant sipper. Not my favorite, but something I'd have again for sure.

Aroma: Hints of caramel, cooked agave, and wood.
Initial Taste: On the tip on the tongue, a thin mouth feel and very sweet. No bitterness.
Body: Agave, vanilla, caramel, smoke, and wood. Lots going on. Maybe too much for me.
Finish: Of medium duration with no alcohol burn.

Casa Noble Reposado is aged for the maximum number of days allowed while still being able to label the spirit as a reposado: 364 days. As such, I find Casa Noble Reposado drinks more like an anejo. The nose is wonderful. Cooked agave, cinnamon, vanilla, and floral notes are all present. It's light and sweet in the mouth on initial taste, but I find the nose much more powerful than the flavor. Its medium body finishes smooth after resting with more agave and spicy vanilla on the back end. This is a hybrid tequila that falls between a reposado and anejo. More woody than most reposados but retains more agave flavor than a lot of anejos. All in all, Casa Noble Reposado is worth trying, especially for anejo drinkers.
